points to Blytt’s variety being near what we consider to be typical

maintained ; my own experience is the same with Ben Lawers 
roots from Mr. C, P. Hurst, grown in pots.

am not quite certain about the matter. 
In conclusion, I ought to say that the supposed C. canescens x

my garden. I can now only call it C. canescens var. fallax; though 
Mr. Crawford strongly maintained our original view, as the result
